Almost Expected

With this shout, something suddenly seemed to be awakened in the garden and came alive. And the group of soldiers who were fully armed and were about to light the fire suddenly exploded and swarmed with whip-shaped snake-shaped objects rushed out in an instant.

The roots that were hidden in the soil like a snake, and suddenly flew out, suddenly wrapped around the legs of several soldiers, and dragged them to the ground unexpectedly. However, they were quickly cut off the ground by the swords and axes of other comrades around them, and struggled and squirmed and loosened.

But in their exposed calves without the trouser legs, there was a piece of blood and blood scratched out; it was obvious that the rough burrs on the roots were not decorations. Then more mud exploded, and more thick roots of all sizes emerged, wrapping around their feet straight up.

It was like some kind of stress reaction, and they were scrambling torches or wind lamps to throw them down one after another and wrapped them on the ground. The several fires that had been lit deep in the park were also extinguished by flawless scattering.

In the blink of an eye, the team entering the park was extinguished by a burst of exclamations, and they were about to fall into complete darkness. The next moment, a white light suddenly lit up, illuminating the orchard in the dark again, and penetrating the mixed roots.

However, a team member next to Jiang Ting used a Class C equipment to install strange objects. It was a stone soaked in a special white glass bottle. In the intense reaction of adding alkaline water, a large area of ​​bright white light quickly emitted, and after being held high, it almost illuminated the ground within a hundred steps.

However, the roots that suddenly surged out from the ground seemed to be stimulated by some kind of stimulation, and briefly scattered for a while; but they reunited and instantly turned into several entangled bodies as thick as giant pythons, whipping violently between the links.

Only amid the dull and unusual thrusts, the earth, rock, mud and water that were ambushing one after another; however, Jiang Ting easily avoided it, holding a searchlight-like white light bottle, jumping onto a thick cherry tree. He rotated the ejection endoscope and shone the white light beam to the opposite side.

That is where many abnormal movements of the roots on the ground are also a steep mountain wall to the cherry orchard. However, under the stimulation of the cluster white light exploration, the entire mountain wall also had no wind automatically. With the shaking sound, there were endless movements like snakes.

Through the short gap created by the bright white light, the attacked sergeants and team members also got rid of the entanglement of underground roots and supported each other to form small battle groups surrounding the wounded; while cutting and splitting the roots that kept popping up, they retreated.

However, more and thicker roots were rewinding the cherry tree of the river under the stimulation/attraction of the white light; and, under the stimulation of this thick cherry tree, the continuous winding towards the treetops where the river is located, continues to wind.

The next moment, one of the thickest roots wrapped around the body suddenly exploded out of thin air; then, like the sound of whipping that quickly blew in the air, wherever Jiang Ting's vision was reaching; almost all the roots on the ground broke and broke here with explosions.

In a blink of an eye, the orchard atrium that was ravaged by these underground roots had fallen all over the ground, and the stimulating juice splashed across the river, struggling and wriggling. However, Jiang Ting's full attention was concentrated on the opposite mountain wall.

Obviously, this mountain wall that was squirming in the search for white light was the source of these hidden underground slander. Therefore, he turned his head and waved his hand outside the garden. Several vine boxes loaded on horses broke away from their constraints and flew to him and fell on the treetops.

Immediately afterwards, Jiang Qi's eyes moved, and the locks of these vine boxes collapsed; then many heavy jars filled with hot tincture oil/refined stone fat water flew out. Then he suddenly waved his hand, and these hot tincture oil jars burst out like shells, bombarding the opposite mountain wall.

Then, unexpectedly, most of the turbulent oil tanks were like muddy bulls, disappearing into the thick vines on the mountain walls; and only a few made a crisp sound. But for Jiang Ting, this was enough. With his light blinking of his fingers, dozens of rockets lined up below flew out.

Most of them suddenly flashed after the mountain wall, but were soon extinguished by more dense vines that were winding and winding and covering; however, the next moment, a light bang suddenly sounded, and a ball of fire splashed out from the vines covered by the mountain wall.

In an instant, more contaminated oil was ignited around. In a blink of an eye, amid the continuous brittle sound of shaving, it spread into a rolling rain of fire like a waterfall. However, the tincture oil tanks that were thrown into it were ignited one after another, and then burst and spread.

At this time, more densely covered and rolled vines on the mountain walls could not stop the large fire curtains flowing down; instead, the burning squeaks made the juice splash, the black smoke rolled, and it became dry and crisp in the blink of an eye, and then burned and fell down.

Immediately afterwards, as the outer layers were ignited, the burnt vines and branches and leaves rushed to fall; the things that were originally covered by dense vines on the mountain walls gradually revealed the truth inside like peeling onions; they were corpses entangled in it.

Most of them are shriveled human-shaped skeletons, and there are also a small number of pigs, dogs, cattle and sheep. Under the roasting of the flames, the corpses of the dead people and animals seemed to be liberated, and the flames on their bodies fell off one after another.

As these bones peeled off one after another, and the tangled branches were burned off, the large area of ​​potholes covered by thick vines was once again exposed. However, I don’t know when this seemingly solid mountain wall had been hollowed out to a considerable area.

In this sunken space, there are tree trunks that are winding and bifurcated like human blood meridians; and wood connectives like tumors; as the flames burn to this layer, the only vines remaining on the entire mountain wall struggled and rolled up.

On the ground of the cherry orchard near the mountain wall, the soil suddenly struggled and flew out, and many small and small roots with broken ends came. Then the soldiers who had completed the dressing change also fired all their guns under the instructions of Jiang Ting, shooting into the mountain wall continuously.

These torso and wood tumors embedded in the bumpy rock walls, like blood, are not as strong as external roots and vines; in a blink of an eye, the crushed debris collapsed, and the juice that emits a strange smell flowed in; the overall external activity can be seen with the naked eye.

The next moment it suddenly changed and regenerated, but the broken roots that struggled to roll out the ground began to shrivel, shrink and brittle one after another; and quickly spread this withering and cracking momentum to all external vines. Could it be that this thing is finally going to die? Jiang Ting couldn't help but think in his heart.

However, in his vision, a long-lost reminder suddenly jumped out: "I found that the abnormal implant is transforming and the body is about to fall off..." In an instant, Jiang Ting, who was commanding high, suddenly moved, and suddenly swung his punch to the opposite mountain wall, and a loud bang exploded.

As a large area of ​​gravel that had been eroded into a hollow cracked and splashed, it collapsed down with a bang; it also pulled out large sections of wood trunks and knots embedded in it. However, it was swept by Jiang Ting's flawless air, smashing it into pieces, and the juices were splattered all over the sky.

Finally, there was a dull and rolling sound, but the upper end of the entire mountain wall was no longer able to withstand the hollowing and cracking, and it collapsed in a blink of an eye. It quickly flooded half of the cherry orchards in the rushing earth like a mudslide.

However, when the soldiers who rushed to the safety of the rear turned around and wanted to find the disappeared Jiang Ting; they saw him standing spotlessly, half of the broken mountain wall was dragging a strange thing pulled out from the ground in his hand.

But when you look closely, this strange thing looks like a fat rhizome that has been magnified countless times and is like a cicada pupa. It is also connected with a handful of fine roots that have broken into drops of juice, which are actually twitching and squirming gently. Then Jiang Ting ordered the sergeant searching on the scene:

But when you look closely, this strange thing looks like a fat rhizome that has been magnified countless times and is like a cicada pupa. It is also connected with a handful of fine roots that have broken into pieces and dripping juice, which are actually twitching and squirming gently. Then Jiang Ting ordered the soldiers and team members with awe:

"No need to look for it anymore. This thing is the culprit of all this. Now I have cut off all the roots and branches, and it will be difficult to cause harm in a short period of time. Hurry up and take it to the bottom of the box and fill it with some soil. Take it back and observe and study it."

"Everyone cleaned up the scene and tried to find all the victims' bodies; then organized the civilians and labor service, dig out the remaining roots and branches and burned them on the spot." Jiang Tian immediately ordered: "When the team comes to meet up, pick a few people who still have enough energy and follow me to the next place."

"The noble official is here, how dare you ask what kind of monster this is?" At this time, someone came forward carefully and asked, but it was the head of the local military village. Jiang Ting thought for a while and replied, "This should be a tree monster that uses a vine to harm people. It did not originally belong to this world."

"It is because of some special reason that it can happen here unexpectedly; it is not enough to become a common example. So you don't need to worry too much. As long as you eradicate the remaining roots and branches, it will not cause any subsequent impact on the local water, soil, people and animals."

"However, daily vigilance should not be relaxed; especially when logging and hunting in the mountains and forests, you must be grouped together to avoid being alone or alone; because under the gradual changes in the world today, the animals in the forest may become more harmful."
